Planning

• Planning service: Yes

• Training service provided: Yes

• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: We use a proven, simple and proprietary method for analysing key factors of current and future state. We create (often via a business case) clarity and agreement with stakeholders around these states, then use our expertise in planning, commercial/ procurement and programme design through execution to provide the optimal migration journey. We have huge breadth and depth of experience in pulling together the right people, content and ideas for unexpected challenges and simply making the most of what is often a tricky but fabulously rewarding piece of work.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: We provide QA testing broadly across technical and non-technical deliverables, and similarly performance testing in the 'volume' sense, as as more widely (eg through to KPI assurance). We have simple and proprietary overarching Test Strategy that we work with clients and any SMEs in turn in order to bespoke to fit with the rest of the test regime at hand, the technical environment and sensibly align with the Programme priorities (ie describing to PMs where time can be saved in testing to what risk).

  Wellbeing

  Wellbeing

  We ensure all staff and team members have 'informal contracts' in place with us so we can be clear, open and honest about what requirements we all have individually and collectively regarding both physical and mental wellbeing. We ensure we check in at least once a week on whether those requirements are being met. We ensure as a company (and/ or with each client engagement) we have at least one commitment/ event a month promoting both physical and mental health, deliberately from work. As Directors, part of shareholders' agreement mandates that we take at least a full continuous fortnight's leave every year.
